Payments to the City of Mebane:

No, we do not accept payments over the telephone. Please visit the city’s website for a listing of payment options for Utility Bills. We accept payment by cash, check, ACH or credit card payments in person at City Hall or through our online portal.

Vehicles:

Only unlicensed vehicles (those that are junked or antique, eg.)
are taxed as personal property and billed on behalf of the City. With
the NC Tax and Tag Together
program, most vehicle taxes are billed by the NC DMV along with the
annual vehicle registration fees. The NC Department of Revenue
distributes the taxes to the appropriate counties and cities. These
bills are issued around the anniversary date of your vehicle
registration each year.

Permits/Licensing:

Beginning July 1, 2015, S.L. 2014-3/House Bill 1050
eliminated local government authority to levy the privilege license tax
with the exception of ABC and peddler licenses. Although a privilege
license is no longer necessary for most businesses, the City’s Unified
Development Ordinance (UDO) requires a Business Occupancy Certificate
before a business can occupy a commercial space and home-based
businesses may be subject to county Health Department or other review
and certification. Please visit our Planning and Inspections Department
at 102 S. Fifth St., or call 919-563-9990, and they will guide you
through the process.

For most businesses, the city no longer issues business
licenses. If your business is located in the city limits, and you sell
beer, wine or mixed drinks, you will need an ABC license. Please call
City Hall at (919) 563-5901 if you have questions regarding your
specific business.
